Whisk buttermilk, lard, and salt for fruity fried pie dough.

Ingredients:

3 cups all-purpose flour
0.5 cup lard
3 tablespoons white sugar
0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature

Instructions:

In a food processor, pulse together flour, lard, sugar, and salt until they resemble pea-sized pieces covered in flour, with about 15 quick pulses. Then add the buttermilk all at once and process until the dough is almost fully combined.
Sprinkle plenty of flour on the work surface and transfer the dough onto it. Gently coat the dough by flipping it over. Fold the dough a few times, then shape it into a soft 4x6-inch block.
Create an X shape by crisscrossing 2 long pieces of plastic wrap and sprinkle lightly with flour. Put the dough in the middle and wrap tightly. Use a rolling pin to smooth the wrapped surface; then flip and repeat. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or, better yet, overnight. Alternatively, place it in a zip-top plastic freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before using.
